Mr. Man in the Moon, I am writing to you

Are you shining at me in disguise

Are you lonesome up there by yourself, there is not a star in sight

I am up with you for the night, so never fear for your light

I am talking to you, because I am sad and blue and you always listen to me

Can you talk to me, I think I see a darker side of you because you shine only when I talk to you, and I can see you flicker like a light bulb that is burning out.

Why are you hiding behind the trees like a thief in the night

Are you Blue Mr. Moon, are you hiding your blues from the world

To the whole world you show a shining face

Your glow, you never have to fear it is a disgrace

Can you tell I am lonely and blue

And are you saying that you feel that way too.

If you are, your heart must be broken like mine
